This website is an amazing tool for educators. Last school year I posted a request for a classroom iPad mini to be used in our classroom. Amazingly, it was funded in under 24 hours with an extremely generous anonymous donor!
It truly is amazing how generous and helpful people are. The website has been used by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and average joe's like you and me. It allows people to donate to things they feel are important; in this case, education. In the future I plan to post more projects to benefit the good of OUR children. I am constantly trying to find new ways to reach students and I am a firm believer in using technology in the classroom. It is a part of our everyday life and the students need to have access to these tools in order to compete in this ever-changing world.
So I thank you in advance for all you do for me as a classroom teacher.
